"I recall preparing this cake when I saw it in Recipes Across America-one of the latest TOH recipe books featured which I purchased this past year! I did make adjustments as follows by using: 1 tsp. baking soda, 1 tsp. baking powder, 1 tsp. salt. I kept the amount of eggs, sugar, vanilla and flour the same. I also kept the amount of crushed pineapple and chopped nuts the same. I kept the frosting ingredient amounts as is. I sifted the dry ingredients for the cake. I used a greased and floured 13x9x2" baking pan and baked cake for 35 to 40 minutes or until a cake tester inserted near center comes out clean. delowenstein"

"I got great feedback when I made this for a bingo gathering. One question, tho. Do you add the pineapple with the juice or do you drain the pineapple?"

"One of our customer made us this cake and we all thought it was so good. I had to have the receipe and I have made it twice in the last two weeks for different events and I plan to make another one this week. I didn't put the walnuts in it or the coconut on top. Next time I will try it that way."

"It has a very moist, almost wet like texture. Very good taste and everyone wanted seconds. The batter has a strange taste but after baking it I was very pleased. I altered the icing a bit, by adding more powder sugar and coconut cream milk and left the nuts out of the cake mix. It is different then your normal cake and I would make it again."
